Team Work And Have Fun In Vinovo
A relaxed, fun atmosphere reigned today in Vinovo during the last training session of the week. The squad, comprising only eight men, took the pitch at around 10.30 this morning, just in time to cross Nicola Legrottaglie who had ran a little before going back inside to undergo treatments.
Amauri, Chimenti, Del Piero, Marchionni, Molinaro, Nedved, Salihamidzic and Tiago warmed up first, and then played a series of very intense football-tennis matches: on one side, Molinaro, Nedved, Salihamidzic and Tiago, on the other Amauri, Chimenti, Del Piero and Marchionni.
The matches were hard-fought and spectacular, with Alex showing some fine overhead kicks and Chimenti surprising everyone with his back-heels. In the end though it was Nedved's team's solidity that prevailed and it all ended with the players hugging, watched by an amused Ranieri and his staff;
The Manager, seeing how involved the players were, had let them continue their football-tennis and scrapped the final training football match. It was a nice way to end the week. The team will gather again on Tuesday afternoon, when Poulsen and Sissoko will also join the others after their international engagements.
